Headline Analyzer
Score your headlines for SEO effectiveness — checking word count, character length, power words, emotional impact, and key structural elements.
What Does This Tool Do?
A great headline makes the difference between someone clicking your article or scrolling past it. This tool analyzes your headline and gives it a score based on the factors that make headlines perform well: word count, character length, power words (that trigger clicks), emotional words (that connect with readers), the presence of numbers, and whether it asks a question.

How It Works
The headline is analyzed against a rubric: word count (6-12 is ideal), character count (50-70 for SEO display), presence of power words from a curated list, emotional words, whether it contains a number, and whether it asks a question. Each factor contributes to the 0-100 score.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a good headline score?
70+ is great. 50-69 is good and worth publishing. Below 50 suggests revising. Key improvements: add a power word, include a number, ensure 6-12 words, keep under 70 characters.
Are power words always needed?
They help significantly for click-through rates. For professional or academic content, fewer power words may be appropriate. Use judgment for your specific audience.
